Hello, I bought this bundle of a motor and ESC (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Z2WRB6D) a while ago and it came with a programming card that I hadn't bothered using until recently. I intended to use the motor and ESC with an Arduino to drive the car, since I planned on adding other things to it in the future.
I used a R6FG receiver and T8S transmitter to get the Arduino to read the values, but the ESC was unable to properly read the values correctly and it wouldn't drive the motor either, despite the ESC detecting some of the transmitter's signals. So I decided to fiddle with the programming card that came with the ESC and see if that would work. I reset the ESC, and now it won't read anything.
When I plug the programming card back in, the lights just loop through and I'm unable to do anything. I did everything to try and get it to work again. Checked the batteries (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YH1X9TF), tried running the Arduino again, even plugged the ESC directly into the receiver to see if the Arduino was interfering. I'm afraid that I might have bricked my ESC but I'm currently unable to get a new one. I'm also wondering if the connections with the motor had something to do with it, since I'm also confused about which wires should connect to the ESC and their purpose, since the wires on the motor have different colors from the ESC.
I looked for sources on these issues, but I'm unable to find anything helpful and I've only arrived at dead ends. The motor and ESC didn't come with documentation either, only a paper on how to use the programming card and what to do when the ESC actually works properly. If there is any way to tell what is wrong with my ESC, whether or not it can be fixed, and how to connect the motor properly I'd really love to know and I greatly appreciate the help.
